July 12, 2013: Acquired Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, D.J. White and a 2017 second-round draft pick from the Boston Celtics for Keith Bogans, Kris Humphries, Kris Joseph, Gerald Wallace, MarShon Brooks, three first-round picks (2014 – James Young, 2016 and 2018) and the right to swap first-round selections in 2017. It will take years to figure out exactly how bad this trade ends up, but we know this much: The Nets are going to stink for the rest of this season and each of the next two seasons, and the Celtics can build a dynasty with Brooklyn’s draft picks if the lottery ping-pong balls bounce the right way. If there is ever a sequel to the Ted Stepien Rule, it will be known as the Billy King Rule. GRADE: F-minus.

we also have the Lakers unprotected 1st rounder next year and the Kings unprotected 1st rounder in 2019

Not bad, the commentators did a horrible job explaining the pick swap and I thought the sixers lost the lakers pick if they didn't pick it up this year. I know it's pointless to say but I really wanted fultz. I want no part of ball but anything outside of 2 seems like no mans land in this draft from what I understand.

Still a good night for hinkie and the process because of the pick swap.

Ball is good, but im not sure he was the pick if they got the #2. He got destroyed by Fox when they went head-to-head...39 points...

Man I hope Colangelo doesn't overthink this. Take Jackson. Yes, he may never be a great shooter but he does everything else extremely well. We would eventually have the best defense in the league. Nobody appreciates defense.

I've been on the Monkmobile, but I think Fox is the better all around player. I was so impressed with how he tore up Kentucky. He's a better defender than Monk. Didn't think Sixers would be in a spot to draft Jackson so I would be happy with either him or Fox.

I know Ball has tons of talent, but I don't really want anything to do with him. His father is just too much of a pain in the a$$ to risk messing up something that is on the verge of being really good.

Someone brought up a good point yesterday on sports radio - Lonzo has two younger brothers who are also very good. At some point dad's attention will probably shift to those guys so maybe he escapes his shadow eventually. I don't think there is any way the Lakers pass on him.
